Shortcuts: text you can copy and paste to save time!

Sometimes coding require a lot of typing. To save time, the large sections of text which may take time to type, are included below under their relevant step.

Step 1: How does the game work? Welcoming players.

-------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to Human vs. Computer in Scissors, Paper, Rock!

-------------------------------------------------------

Moves: choose scissors, paper or rock by typing in your selection.

Rules: scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock and rock crushes scissors.

Good luck!

Step 9: Extension, ascii graphics with functions

These images make sense when pasted into a text editor! There are three images:

• A guitar for the move "ROCK" (get it?)
• A paper for the move "PAPER"
• A pair of scissors for the move "SCISSORS".

print("\nROCK! ")

print(" ,-. _.---._ ")

print(" | `\.__.-'' `. ")

print(" \ _ _ ,. \ ")

print(" ,+++=._________________)_||______|_|_|| | ")

print(" (_.ooo.===================||======|=|=|| | ")

print(" ~~' | ~' `~' o o / ")

print(" \ /~`\ o o / ")

print(" `~' `-.____.-' ")

print("\nSCISSORS!\n")

print(" |\ /| ")

print(" \\\\ // ")

print(" \\\\// ")

print(" )( ")

print(" //\\\\ ")

print(" _// \\\\_ ")

print(" / \ / \ ")

print(" \__/ \__/ \n")

print("\nPAPER!\n")

print(" __________ ")

print(" | | ")

print(" | I AM | ")

print(" |A SHEET | ")

print(" |OF PAPER| ")

print(" |________| \n")

Step 10: Extension, adding in lizard and Spock to the moves

For Step 10 we've included:

• A new "welcome" statement
• Additional images are given for the moves "Spock" and "lizard.

Welcome note:

print("----------------------------------------------------------------------")

print("Welcome to Human vs. Computer in Scissors, Paper, Rock, Lizard, Spock!")

print("----------------------------------------------------------------------")

# 10.c. update moves for spock and lizard.

print("Moves: choose scissors, paper, rock, lizard or spock by typing in your selection.")

# 10.d. update rules for lizard and spock

print("-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------")

print("Rules:","Scissors cuts Paper, Paper covers Rock, Rock crushes Lizard,")

print("More rules: Lizard poisons Spock, Spock smashes Scissor, Scissors decapitates Lizard,")

print("More rules: Lizard eats Paper, Paper disproves Spock and Spock vaporizes Rock.")

print("-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------")

print "To exit: press spacebar, then enter." # 6.f. while loop exit condition

print("Good luck!")

print("------------\n")
